Chapter 26 Cabbage and Lean Meat Dumplings



"Hello...Hello, my name is Su Tao."

"Hello, Comrade Su, my name is Song Tangcheng, and I'm Lanlan's second sister." Song Tangcheng greeted Su Tao gently.

Seeing Su Tao suddenly stuttering, Song Tanglan was a little confused about what was wrong with her.

He turned around and looked at her blankly. After a closer look, he found that she was very nervous. He looked at his second sister and suddenly felt relieved.

In order to prevent her good friend from feeling any more embarrassed, Song Tanglan changed the subject.

"Taotao, let's go. Didn't you say you wanted to go to the state-owned restaurant for a good meal? Don't just stand there. Let's take advantage of this opportunity now."

As expected, delicious food has the greatest appeal. Su Tao put aside the nervousness just now, and now her mind is full of delicious and hot food.

"Okay, okay, don't you know I've been hungry for a long time? I just wanted to take out some dry food to eat."

As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach growled as if in response. He touched his stomach and couldn't help showing a wronged look.

Seeing that the two girls got along well, Song Tangcheng was happy for his younger sister. His younger sister was too shy, and having a good friend could make her cheerful and put those bad things behind her.

The group didn't chat for long before Song Tangcheng took them to the state-owned restaurant. It was already past mealtime, so there were not many people in the restaurant.

In addition to the nine educated youth, there were also new educated youth from another brigade having lunch here.

But we didn't see any other teams. We thought it was working time now, and they would earn less work points if they came to pick us up, so it was normal for us to rush back.

Because it was past mealtime, only noodles and dumplings were left. The group ordered what they wanted to eat according to their own needs, and then quietly found a place to sit down and wait.

Song Tanglan and the other two ordered cabbage and lean meat dumplings. All three of them were well-off. Sun Jianhua and Yu He, who sat at the same table with them, also came from well-off families. They would go to state-owned restaurants for a meal from time to time.

As soon as the five of them sat down, they found the atmosphere a little awkward. Song Tanglan didn't tell them at the beginning that her second sister was also an educated youth. When they heard the news, they were all very surprised. Fortunately, the three of them were also very tactful and didn't ask too many questions.

At this time, Su Tao, who was very active in her mind, was quietly looking at Song Tangcheng, sighing in her heart, not only is this friend so beautiful, but even the second sister is such a beauty, the genes in this family must be so strong, I just don't know why such a beauty would want to marry a countryman?

It's not that she looks down on country people, she just feels that their family conditions are very different. Girls from the city are more or less literate and have some education, but she has heard that few children from the countryside go to school. The growing environment is completely different, so how can they have common topics?

Seeing Su Tao staring at her sister, Song Tanglan couldn't help but want to hold her forehead. She looked so curious that anyone with a discerning eye would know what she was thinking.

It wasn't the first time that Song Tangcheng had been looked at like this by someone, but the look in the girl's eyes was very innocent, unlike the others which contained some malice and contempt.

It's as if she is inferior because she married a countryman, but only people who have actually lived in the countryside know that marrying someone from a well-off family can make life more comfortable.

Her life is her own and the choices she makes are her own business. She never regrets it. Song Tangcheng has no habit of explaining to strangers. It's just that the atmosphere is a little awkward. In order to ease it, she explained the situation in the town to them and described the supply and marketing cooperative, post office and other specific locations.

After she finished speaking, the dumplings they ordered were served. Everyone, who were already starving, smelled the fragrant noodles and no longer wanted to continue chatting. They all picked up their chopsticks and started eating in tacit understanding.

Even Song Tanglan quickened his pace to eat.

In the 1970s, state-owned restaurants were still very substantial. Even if you ordered a small portion, you would still feel full after eating it.

Not to mention the two boys who ordered large portions. They were starving when they came in, and when they left, they all held their waists, just like pregnant women.

"I'm so full. The lunch boxes I've been eating on the train these past few days have tasted pretty much the same, and with the smell of the train, it's almost impossible to swallow." Su Tao couldn't help but feel disgusted when she thought about the days she'd spent on the train.

Yu He and Sun Jianhua couldn't help but sigh as well.

"Yeah, thinking about the past few days, it's really pitiful."

"Cousin, you're better. I'm still carsick! I feel dizzy all day long, and the smell is really pungent. Luckily I managed to hold it in, otherwise I'd have to go to the bathroom and vomit every day."

When Song Tanglan thought about the five days he had spent on the train, he couldn't help but complain.

"Forget about these problems, those people are staring at us like fat sheep. We can't even eat in peace."

"That's right, if Lan Lan hadn't been there to block me, I'd be really afraid that they would be shameless and try to steal my food."

Su Tao thought of the woman in the back seat of the car, staring at them while they were eating, it was really scary.

"Your situation is still considered good. Some people even took off their shoes, and the smell was really unbearable." Sun Jianhua also complained.

"There's also a naughty kid who's been staring at my package! I was so scared that I couldn't sleep, for fear that he would rummage through my package while I was sleeping." Su Tao thought of her package, and she felt that this train ride was very unlucky.

Song Tangcheng had also taken a train before and knew how uncomfortable it was to sit on a train for five consecutive days. However, she had not encountered so many things when she was on the train, so she looked at them with some sympathy.

"Come on, I'll take you to the supply and marketing cooperative. You can buy some things you need. There won't be any cars going to town tomorrow. If you want to come, you'll have to walk by yourself, which will take an hour."
